For those of you who've been under a rock for a few days, Sam Raimi is to direct PTerry's "The Wee Free Men. A resounding YAY to that!

Fantasy casting is going on in earnest over many a message board. Personally, I'd love to see Dame Maggie Smith as Granny Weatherwax and Dame Judi Dench as Nanny Ogg, however, I'm not sure Maggie would want to play two much-loved witches. Dave reckons that Andy Serkiss should play Rob Anybody, which could be pretty cool. He's got the right sort of interesting face....

And for the Americans: SciFi has bought rights to the new Doctor Who! Alas, this does push back the US DVD release, but I'm told the Canadian release is still happening on 14th February. That'll work, right?

I'm all for casting Maggie Smith and Judi Dench in just about anything. They can come here and perform my credit card bills and I'd be tickled to death....

I think you'd get better milage if you got them to read the telephone book. But I agree with the sentiment....

I always saw "That woman from Tenko" as Granny Weatherwax. And I've never managed to replace My Auntie Betty in my mind as Nanny.
